News of alleged sexual harassment at the hands of Harvey Weinstein only broke Thursday, but the weekend has brought some huge developments. First, the mega movie producer has been fired from The Weinstein Company, which he co-founded with his brother, Bob.

"In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days," a statement from the company reads. "The directors of The Weinstein Company ... have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately."

What's more, Harvey's down two advisors. Lawyer Lisa Bloom announced her resignation from the job after plenty of backlash. Lanny Davis, another of Weinstein's advisors, who has also stepped down (but their office hasn't commented).
